8. MAINTENANCE
8.4 After winter storage
During a service the dealer can clean the mower
thoroughly, test its function and components as well as
replace wear parts if necessary. If the charging or
contact strips appear to be burnt, clean them using fine
grade emery cloth. Check that the mower’s time and
date are correct.
8.5 Cleaning
It is important to keep Automower
®
clean. A mower
with a large amount of clippings negotiates slopes very
poorly.
Never use a high-pressure washer or even running
water to clean Automower
®
.
We recommend a brush and spray with water.
Underframe and blade disc
1. Set the main switch to the OFF position.
2. Wear protective gloves.
3. Lift Automower
®
onto its side.
4. Clean the blade disc and underframe using,
e.g. a dish-brush.
At the same time, check that the blade disc
rotates freely in relation to the motor support,
directly above. Check also that the skid plate
rotates freely in relation to the blade disc.
If long blades of grass or other objects work their
way in this can brake the blade disc and/or skid
plate. Even a slight braking effect leads to a
higher consumption of energy and longer
mowing times, and at the worst will prevent the
mower from being able to mow a large lawn. If
more thorough cleaning is necessary the skid
plate, and possibly the blade disc, must be
dismantled. If necessary, contact your dealer.
